[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 201150, member: 4425"] Thanks so much for welcoming Moonwolf here. She really is one of my most cherished blessings. The help I get from her and her SO are what has helped keep me sane. I'm afraid I might have hurt her feelings a bit by referring to her as a "babysitter" because she is so much more. She has some problems of her own but she has never let me down and she means as much to me as my biological children. I just wasn't sure how to refer to her on the BB here, the relationship is convoluted and hard to explain. She started as a babysitter to my kids, but due to circumstances I will let her share if she wants, I took her into my home when she was 19 and she has been mine ever since. I'm very proud to be her "mom" and her SO's also. I try very hard to be the person in their lives that they can count on no matter what.. no judgment, just love. Her bio family doesn't agree with some of her adult decisions such as with her SO who is also a fabulous young woman, so that on top of past issues made her feel very alone. I guess I need to edit my sig a bit and try to fit it all in.... its so confusing. I do appreciate the welcome she has received, I told her to come here, even though she isn't a parent, she is a caregiver who is involved on a daily basis so I thought she might get some help here. I know that this is hard on her and her SO and I will never be able to express to them how much I appreciate them. I don't think sharing this will upset her, so here is a bit about her , she is a wonderful 21 YO easy child, but with some problems of her own, Bipolar, on Lithum, schizophrenia, depression, an autoimmune disease that I can't recall the name of that is causing her to lose her hearing in both ears (she wears hearing aids, knows some ASL and lipreads wonderfully) and Elhers Danlos syndrome. I've rambled enough.. thanks for listening Jan [/QUOTE]
